Not just that, but imagine the shitshow that .ml will be. They lose their minds if you so much as even think to criticize their beloved dictator.
I’m pretty sure they love him far more than Russians do.
what's .ml ?
It's the instance run by the creators of Lemmy, people on .world love to constantly redbait about it and other left-wing instances because they tend to enforce rules against bigotry while also critically supporting a lot of US state enemies.
I don't see people being censored around here for complaining about Russia being a capitalist misogynist transphobic shit hole (many such cases tbh), but homophobic insults against Putin? that's not going to fly because it's still homophobia, and doesn't even amount to real criticism.
People mistake the fervant opposition to the US empire in these spaces as blind support of these state enemies, and that's just missing a lot of nuance and boiling it down to "lemmy.ml funded by Russia/China"
That said I kinda wish I was getting getting paid by Russia/China, here I am working a day job like a chump to pay rent.
